Very poor technique is illustrated in dead lift picture. Lumbar spine is flexed, putting excess load on intervertebral disks. Some lordosis should be maintained during this exercise by performing an anterior pelvic tilt as you reach down towards the floor.
Love the workouts, but the constant stream of advertisements are way too overwhelming! I know you have to advertise; but when the ad lasts longer than the workout, that's a problem.
Very valuable information. I completely agree that resistance training, exercises are more important for a lean , fit , beautiful body. I found lately a very good workout system written by areal fitness and nutrition expert Flavia del Monte.

It appears most of you are all so critical. Do what's best for you. The model looks great. All types of people of different sizes work out. I like the exercise. T.U.

These are all helpful, though I to am concerned about the dead lift in regards to lower back damage. What I am really wondering about is the exercises that target all aspects of the arm, such as the triceps. None of these target that area.
Kymwright I agree with you on the deadlift. Old days we had straight legs and went to almost the floor. This has been proven to be very bad for the lower back. More knee bend is needed which will lengthen the hamstring, lower only to kneeline level keeping your back long and shoulders back and down. Lift using legs, this cannot be done when your legs are straight you will put too much stress on the lower back.
Hi This excercise is really good can this be downloaded on a dvd to play on the tv. I have it on my ipod touch alrdy but would to have it on a dvdso that i can play it on the tv and do the excersise. please advise...thanks
I don't know if this was added in response to your comments, but if you click on the printer icon at the top of the article, it takes you to a printable page for that move. And on that new page there is an option to "print all slides". Also, if you watch the video the model does the dead lift correctly.
Press the print button like you normally would. WHen it takes you to the new page (that just has the one slide on it) you have an option at the top to "Print" or "Print All Slides". Press "Print All Slides" & all the slides appear just like they used to!
I agree with both the previous post I would love a printed out copy to take to the gym and I also think that the demo is not the best both in form and speed of each exercise so fast it makes the form look terrible.
PLEASE BRING BACK THE PRINT ALL SLIDES from this workout. It is so much easier for me to keep them right by me as I work out to read and view picture. I am able to make notes on printed out sheet for adjustments I need etc. Please bring this feature back.
I am always disappointed that the models for the fitness exercises don't look like they have eaten enough to be "models of health" but this is the first time I feel like a skill is being demonstrated incorrectly. The picture for the dead lift is terrible. If people deadlift this way they will cause serious damage to their backs. While the instructions say that the knees should be bent, the model's knees are not bent nor is her back flat.
Please bring back the print all slides for this workout!!!!!!!!!!!

12/30/2011 03:22:42 PM Report AbuseThe deadlift form is not entirely correct here- her knees should have a slight bend and a nice flat back to prevent any back issues or knee troubles.
